      • Disconnect the charger from the mains socket if not in use and before performing maintenance work on the device or charger.

      WARNING

      To reduce the risk of electric shock:

      • Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

      • Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

      • Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

      • Do not use with damaged battery charger output cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, contact customer service.

      • Do not pull or carry by the battery charger output cord, do not use battery charger output cord as a handle, do not close a door on the battery charger output cord, or pull battery charger output cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over battery charger output cord. Keep battery charger output cord away from heated surfaces.

      • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in off‑position before picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your fingers on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.

      • Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

      • Unless otherwise stated in the instructions for use and care, do not modify or repair the device or the battery.

      • Do not unplug by pulling battery charger output cord. To unplug, grasp plug.

      • Do not handle battery charger or appliance with wet hands.

      • Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use if openings are blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

      • Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

      • Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

      • Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

      • Do not charge the unit outdoors.

      • Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to charge the device.

      • Do not incinerate the device, even if it is severely damaged. The battery could catch fire and explode.
